Second order QED tree-level processes in pulsed plane wave fields — •Felix Mackenroth and Antonino Di Piazza — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany

Second order tree-level processes in dressed state QED can occur with either an off-shell (p2m2) or on-shell particle connecting the two vertices. We show for the study of an intermediate electron propagator that by dropping the usual assumption of a monochromatic scattering laser field, the laser dressed propagator naturally splits up into an on- and off-shell part and is finite without the need for ad-hoc regularization [1]. We relate this study of two-photon emission to a recently proposed quantum picture of radiation reaction in the so-called ultra-relativistic, moderately quantum regime interpreting it as the incoherent emission of several photons [2]. We corroborate this latter picture by identifying quantum radiation patterns typical of radiation reaction. Finally we comment on the possibility of treating processes involving a photon instead of an electron propagator.
